Making the structure of 'fire ice' with nanoparticles: The structure harnesses a strange physical phenomenon and could enable engineers to manipulate light in new ways.

Cage structures made with nanoparticles could be a route toward making organized nanostructures with mixed materials, and researchers have shown how to achieve this through computer simulations.
